Each of these microwaves combines functionality with sleek design, making them an ideal choice for modern kitchens. With a host of features, they cater to various cooking needs while also enhancing the aesthetics of the cooking space.

One of the standout features of the JVM1640 series is its capacity. With a generous 1.6 cubic feet of cooking space, these microwaves provide ample room for heating large plates and bowls. This ensures that users can reheat leftovers or prepare quick meals with ease.

The JVM1640 models are equipped with a powerful 1000 watts of cooking power, which allows for efficient cooking and reheating.
